Dugu Lin was an extremely intelligent man. He knew that the Never-Ending Clan currently held the upper hand in the war. Daoist You Ran had exploited the greed inherent in the Dao Palace disciples' nature, and they were now following him almost willingly into war.
The best option for him was to join them and fight for resources in this war that would allow him to build his cultivation.
However, he simply couldn't get himself to cross that final hurdle. It wasn't for the sake of the Federation or the sect, it was for his master. He couldn't do it because of his master. Opinions of his master generally skewed towards the negative. His temperament was inconsistent, and he was vicious. But still… Dugu Lin couldn't forget the care his master had given him, the time and energy he had poured into grooming him, and everything he had done for him.
There was only one way to save his master. Daoist You Ran had to be killed!
